Norfolk and the broads is a beautiful place, I am sure you and Mrs Hawk will have a great time which ever parts you visit.

 

Just keep an eye out for the locals, they are a strange bunch, you don't want any Wicker Man type situation :D

I made a serious mistake up there once - at a tackle shop in Stalham I handed over a maggot box with Castaway, Felixstowe, Suffolk on it.

The old dear in her seventies took great offence and gave me some abuse for being a Suffolk lad.

 

Hawk - would recomend hiring a rowing boat with your houseboat. Gives you a good platform to fish from in places you may not have been able to reach from the cruser / bank.

dads a proper norfolk boy!

 

:D

 

seriosuly though fishing on the broads was always great fun and usually produced alot of decent stuff.

to be fair i cant recall much of actual locations and suchlike but if you have decent watercraft skills then you will quickly pick out the best areas.

If you get stuck head to Lathams at Potter Heigham and ask in the tackle shop there for some advice, or Wroxham and again there are a couple of tackle shops there that have decent local knowledge.

dont forget to drag along some pike tackle as well there are some decent beasts lurking about (just dont catch father! he gets easily miffed when he grabs a treble hook!)

if your boating about then i dare you to head to St Bennets Abby and spend the night moored up and fishing there....if you can moor up there these days.....especially on a nicely moonlit night!

recall a couple of nights spent there jumping at all manner of noises in the darkness whilst trying to catch fish off the boat! LOL!

 

 

Hi mate being born near loddon at a little village called bergapton I am one of the local boys.

 

What I cannot work out is why you have the same family picture of dad as I do. :D

 

Mum was a lot lighter then.

 

Maybe dales is right we are all interbreed but there are a lot worse out there.

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

I mentioned the Broads to Mrs Hawk today. There was silence?

I thought i would delve a bit deeper and told her it can be warm in September

 

Mrs Hawk...Yeah warm for the Pike (Damn i felt like i had been bowled out for a duck but i stuck in there chaps)

Mr Hawk....I only intend to take one rod dear and i thought it would just be the two of us

Mrs Hawk...mmmmm! (i was back in if only just)

Mrs Hawk...I want to go somewhere hot and not have weather that is unpredictable .

Mr Hawk...Well, it rained in spain two years a go dear .

 

Yeah i know but there is still more chance of it being Sunny but i guess i do not mind ( It was a 6 hit over the pavilion into the traffic)

 

But then i saw the prices....WTF....I think i will go to Spain dear!!! :rolleyes:
